Six problems related to cruise control have been reported for the 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driving down interstate, check engine soon light, and traction control light come on, vehicle loses power, decelerates on its own. Cruise control stops working. Have to almost floor gas pedal to keep power going to vehicle. Vehicle then randomly has small burst of acceleration on its own. Occured while driving down I-10. Occurs randomly while driving, without warning. Almost caused a major accident between myself and a semi, while my kids were in the vehicle.
Airbag light is on, cruise control (as well as all other controls mounted on the steering wheel) are inoperable. This was gradual; I noticed cruise control didn't work first, then the rest of the controls including the airbag stopped shortly after. This was during highway driving (a coast-to-coast road trip).
A week ago I noticed when I started the Jeep in the morning the air bag and the traction control lights on the dash came on. The cruise control quit working along with the radio controls on the steering wheel. The Jeep is parked on the street. I disconnected the battery for about 30 min. I reconnected the battery and started it up. The air bags and traction control lights were still on in the dash. The steering controls do not work. The Jeep was parked in front of my house on the street.
I was driving down the highway at 70mph. It felt like the cruise control kicked in and the Jeep began to accelerate. I tapped the break however the speed was increasing. I pressed down harder on the gas and the car slowed some but as soon as I let off the brake the car would speed up. I pressed down on the break and was able to get over to the side of the highway. A red warning light came on. I had to press the break to the floor and pull the parking break. The rear tires were still spinning so I shut the Jeep off and called a tow truck. The Jeep was towed to the nearest dealership. The Jeep is still at the dealership and they are unable to find anything wrong with it. I'm suppose to pick it up however I'm afraid to begin driving the Jeep again.
The contact owns a 2013 Jeep Wrangler. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the cruise control would shut off if the vehicle hit a bump. Also,the contact stated that while sitting in vehicle with engine off, the doors would unlock and the signals would flash. Both failures have occurred thirty two times over a period of six months. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who could not duplicate the failures. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 19,900.
Right hand drive sport unlimited. Cruise control failed to set until after multiple attempts, cruise control disengaged, cruise control refused to disengage when applying brakes. Windshield wipers intermittently turn on by themselves. Turn signals turn on intermittently without driver input.
